CALGARY IMMIGRANT WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION

Calgary Immigrant Women’s Association (CIWA) is a non-profit organization established in 1982 as a registered charity. CIWA is a culturally diverse settlement agency that recognizes, responds to, and focuses on the unique concerns and needs of immigrant and refugee women, girls and their families. CIWA’s uniqueness is based on having a narrow gender related mandate, which has provided best practices in developing customized female focused initiatives. These initiatives always include children and their well-being as important outcomes of our engagement. During its 36-year history, CIWA has developed innovative programs, entered into partnerships and become an organization that is truly responsive to the unique and diverse needs of its constituency. Over the years, CIWA has made the transition to Canada a more comfortable, pleasant and successful one for more than 80,000 immigrant women. To learn more clickhere
